Single bulb T5 fixtures?

Look at sun blaster t5 grow lights on amazon.

 

I'm wanting to do the same thing. I already have a coralife 2 bulb fixture that I've been planning to chop in half and build a frame for. Otherwise I was just ganna go with a retrofit kit from BRS on black Friday or something

 

I think give it some time some company is going to make a good retrofit. Aquatic life is making t5 lighting to retrofit current radions kessel and ai lighting to add t5 to them.

I used the BRS retrofit. Made a simple bracket from some aluminum stock from menards and put one in front of my Kessils. and one behind them. I even got it in dimmable and hooked it to my Apex. I was pleased with the results.

 

I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my AI 52s. I'm going to go with the BRS retrofits in my canopy. I've never used T5s, do they require a ballast?

Retrofit T5 Lighting

 

@Gordo Those kits come with ballast, sockets and wiring. I bought the one with all the loose pieces and had to fabricate some brackets to get it to mount in my particular installation.(I don't have a typical canopy) The ballast has a wiring diagram printed on it to tell you how to wire it.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the info.
